PROMISING START

UCAAB surges rivalries but will certainly tighten bonds among Bataeño student communities. This is like experiencing the UAAP or the NCAA atmosphere here in Bataan.

The commencement of the Universities and Colleges Athletics Association of Bataan (UCAAB) is not just aimed to forge sportsmanship and camaraderie among Bataeños student-athletes but also spark the competitiveness of the every college students in the province in fighting and cheering for their schools’ pride.

This is a promising start for the universities and colleges in the peninsula, who agreed as one to conduct this endeavor. UCAAB features 13 schools battling it out for provincial supremacy in seven sporting events.

Being the province’s prime contender in the regional sporting arena, Bataan Peninsula State University is hosting the opening season of this momentous event. The battle-tested Stallion athletes will showcase their talents in this another challenge with pride.

Stallion volleybelle ace hitter Alona Lazaro lit the torch that proclaimed that the battlefield for the first ever UCAAB has officially started. In addition, Stallion volleybelle team captain Katherine Mojica led the pledge of sportsmanship.

Adding to the Peninsulares’ shine were the Stallion dance floor bets who bested other contenders to get four gold medals for BPSU that will set the tone for a glorious campaign.

Although missing the support of the loud BPSU crowd on the opening day, the Stallions never failed to deliver which only proves the Peninsulares’ perseverance.

Truly, this is a promising start not just for BPSU but to all schools who participated in this event. This is a venue of rekindling the fire to participate and compete that will surely strengthen the ties of the educational institution in Bataan.
